Welcome to Pursuit of Happiness! We have had the honor of providing trauma-informed counseling for over 3,000 children in foster care since our formation in 2011. All of our counselors practice trauma-informed counseling and have training in play and trauma techniques to help children and families heal and grow in a safe therapeutic space. Our counselors will come directly to you and meet in the home, school, or daycare depending on your schedule needs. Virtual counseling is also available. We are in network with Superior Healthplan, Traditional Medicaid, and Medicaid-Aetna.
To request counseling, please visit our website to submit a referral www.pursuitofhappinesscounseling com-The process is fast, easy, and confidential. We have trauma-informed counselors with immediate availability in all major cities of Texas! Please visit our website to view our interactive coverage map.
Built specifically for children in foster care, Pursuit of Happiness takes counseling for these kids to a new level. We believe that no child should have to go through the difficult foster care system alone. Pursuit of Happiness was built so that kids in foster care can have someone they can count on when they need it most.
